saakshi85 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2018 Hi, Currently I am on OPT and have received a job offer from a government/city office. I wanted to know if they are cap-exempt when they file H1b. Is there any website where I can check it? Also what are my future prospects, as to if I change my job to cap-exempt / non-cap exempt jobs? For non-cap exempt jobs will I have to go through H1 lottery; how can a company file for my visa in April without me joining them and then wait for several months (October)to hire me? Thank you Share this post Link to post
